Like a Dog

In the penitentary where Im treated like a dog
I should have known that Id wind up this way
Without the money to get off 

Mamma I just killed a guard
It was the law 
It was the law 

It started as some petty crime
Now its the gangs im with non-stop

Is this rehabilitation
Maybe not 
Maybe not 

Mamma I just fought my cell mate
Now hes twitching
What the ****

Well I dont appreciate how Im a victim to be shot
The system taught me that Im not me 
So I have goggles and a glok

Is this rehabilitation
Maybe not 
Maybe not
Soon the prison doors will open
For Jesus Christ that is Jihad
